We feel we were short changed twice by Clayton American. On the Expedia web site we booked an Executive Double room with 315 sq ft of space having stayed in one of these rooms on 3 previous occasions. However, on reaching our room (545) it was 215sq ft looking out at a workman’s shed. I suggested refunding the difference since room was fine, but accepted a complementary evening meal instead. However this was spoilt by a badly cooked steak and we were not charged by the restaurant (who were unaware of the complementary meal offer) because of this. However, this was treated as our complimentary meal on our departure with no recognition of the recompense for a smaller room. After 5 stays in this hotel over 6 or 7 years, sadly, we will not return. We suggest Expedia adjust the room descriptions to prevent other guests suffering smaller rooms than that booked/advertised. The staff in the restaurant and greeting guests on reception/ concierge were lovely.

Wonderful Week in Amsterdam

This is one of the grand dames of Amsterdam. Originally called Hotel American, it has been updated while still keeping the charm of the original. Near the Leidseplein and a number of tram lines, it is close enough to many attractions while avoiding the very busy Central Station area. The room was spacious with a king bed. Large TV, blutooth speaker, frig and modern bath made for a comfortable stay. Daily service was prompt and thorough. Stayed a week and would return. One small detail that was out of place in an otherwise complete set up was a lack of clock in the bedroom, a given in US hotels.

Beautiful hotel but needs some TLC

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Some issues we faced was the fact the room was very dark and needs more light, especially over the vanity area. The towels were a disgrace and need to be replaced asap. On cool days the heat in room never adequately heated it. The thermostat was locked and could not be moved to a higher temperature. The room stayed cold and uncomfortable. The American Cafe restaurant was very good.

The design of our mini suite has a major flaw: a big room is used for only a bath tub only and does not even put a chair in there, totally wasting a lot of room. Early check in needs to pay extra 276 euros. Location is perfect. Note that if early departure is needed, guests might need to go to the other side of the canal to be picked up by uber.
